Our Star The Sun



In the milky way gaxaly our star is called the sun. It provides light, heat, and energy to our solar system. The sun on average is somewhere around 5,500 C or 10,000 F and the sun also has 99.8 % of the mass of the solar system. The sun is about 333,000 the times of our earth and an average density of about 90 lbs per cubic unit. The age of sun is around 4,600,000 years old. It is made up of chemicals elements called atoms and inside made up of plasma. The Sun magnetic fields cause other solar matter, mainly planets , asteroids, comets, meteoroids and other debris, to orbit around it. Life on Earth as we know it would not be possible without the Sun. The Sun is also directly responsible for determining and regulating the varying climates and weather cycles that occur on Earth. The solar energy from the Sun has supported and sustained terrestrial existence on Earth since the beginning of time.

How The Sun Came To Be



About 5 to 6 billion years ago, a cloud of space gas received some sort of a shock; possibly the shock wave of a nearby supernova explosion. The gas cloud had swirled around slowly in space as it orbited the center of the galaxy, but the shock wave caused it to begin to collapse. As gasses fall together, they compress and heat up. Most of the mass fell to the center of the spiral, and at some point the heat and pressure of the hydrogen suddenly caused the hydrogen atoms to fuse into helium. That was it the ignition of the Sun it has been going ever since, about 4.5 billion years now.

When The Sun Is Gone


Billions Of Years From Now Our Sun Will Turn Into A Red Giant and Explode Desecrating The Close By Terrestrial Planets. Which Means All Life Will Be Destroyed and Our Home Earth Will Be No More.
